Russell-Cooke Solicitors has announced that it has recruited Simon Jerrum as its new Head of Restructuring and Insolvency.

Jerrum is a highly regarded insolvency lawyer, with particular expertise in complex contentious insolvency disputes often involving concurrent proceedings in multiple jurisdictions and the recovery of assets based overseas.

Jerrum is a solicitor-advocate qualified in England and Wales and is also admitted to practise in the British Virgin Islands.  He has almost 15 years’ experience, having previously practised at international law firms including Shearman & Sterling, Norton Rose Fulbright and HFW.
